I've got various text files in Markdown format.

I also use a small CLI program to loosely manage them. Basically, it just creates a new file in a predetermined folder and opens it in my text editor, which I've bound to a global shortcut, so it's just one keypress for me to start jotting something down.
Well, and then it also allows searching through all note files and things like that.

What's that small CLI program called?

Why not try Obsidian?

Not a fan of it using Electron and a proprietary license.

But I also actually like this workflow. Being able to note things in my regular text editor with the keybindings I know, is quite important to me.
Well, and an even more personal preference, but my way of using a desktop OS involves a lot of workspaces, so the global shortcut to summon a new editor window on the current workspace actually gets a lot of use.
